4:04 pm
you asked before yesterday and elton was somebody is there still praying being brought out of the rubble. the latest that has just happened is that the united nations schools have been have been getting calls that 2 schools in the west of gaza are being weren't to be targeted by the israeli military we know that so many of the schools now up. $48.00 according to $48.00 schools now have about $40000.00 families who are taking refuge at shelters in these schools so for some of these schools to be also warned now this is another massive crisis that is going to is going to be happening to these families here at the shifa hospital it's pretty up coupon had by that knowledge of patients who are in
4:05 pm
every room in every department in the corydoras it administration offices reception offices. amount of people who have been wounded if if any of the cases are a little bit light the medical teams are sending them home because they want to empty more places for more severe cases that keep on coming by every dow and then also the power shortages. here is humor is going to ask you we do want to just tell we we do understand that there has been a difficulty getting power and water into the whole split so just give us a sense of how many hours of her you have left that whole split so is there an answer quick supply of water getting in to the building behind you.
4:06 pm
in the entire 24 hours the gaza strip now is getting from one to 3 hours of electricity and the best parts it's getting like 3 hours of electricity there is a huge lack of fuel in the generator is the dock to operate. independently of to provide electricity to these hospitals now not just to ship. the hospital and now what because of the lack of fuel and because of the destruction that has been closed in the out in the power lines and even in the distribution company electricity distribution company seems that there is going to be a huge crisis that has just started but it is going to take a long time now since this is what the medical teams have been telling us since that there is no until now any extra fuel that has entered the strip to provide the
4:07 pm
generators and the reste touring of these lines now is going to still take a lot of time especially that there is a great destruction in the infrastructure and the roads leading to different areas in the strip so now also because the water we need the electricity or the gaza strip needs electricity to generate water there is a huge lack of water. there is a huge lack of wider also coming to different areas in the stretch directive which is a shift that complex ok and just a quick safety check there you know you're ok we did hear an explosion go off quite close to you. yes there is just an explosion very close. it's a raid so hopefully nothing worse gets or happens from me from ok from now i need more we'll let you we'll let you try and find some more
4:08 pm
a bit safer when you're outside hospital so one would assume that would be a place of safety but for now you're. reporting life right side of the hospital thank you very much indeed let's take you elsewhere to gaza and i we can speak with some the abu salim is a palestinian journalist and a resident of gaza some me what's the situation like where you are it looks like you're in. looks like you're in a school playground just tell us more. yes actually we have been on or school been we have to another one down this one in the heart of gaza city. other schools also are full of people not only in gaza but of course the gaza strip and rafa and eunice it's the same story it is copy paste i mean thousands of people $50000.00 people left their houses of from the streets of gaza strip and the
4:09 pm
i would go coming to death squads looking for safety and security. in the 1st. of those people or this guy they are looking for safety of you don't feel they are safe because they think that it is very possible that the israelis will bombard it it is true with that their own draw flag may protect them may give them some. fiction but it is not guaranteed exactly they told me i am demanded me or i recall what i have been. what happened in a school in jeopardy in fiji come 2014 when the strike hit a school full of. full of refugees or full of people 15 people have been killed and these 90 people i was an eyewitness at this. incident and calling them in problems they are suffering here for them to hear according to them it is
4:10 pm
shortage of water and sure i have just seen some and your child at the end of your they give the same give them some mediums and they are suffering lacking of water especially a woman woman told me that the out of need for water water and they look to me to be able to deal with their kids yet the next with their end funds they are feeding kids and they are in need for their viewers but there is shortage in all the stuff . and other people also inside the this center school there are some people who have chronic diseases like the. pressure. of the diseases or. they are in need for continuous treatment and there is but it is an act of medication i must point that according to government media office to government that some moods i'm sorry to say i am sorry to cut you off there i just
4:11 pm
say but that's fair secondly to take your life now i see the mayor of gaza. is speaking now i let's just listen an old vehicle is there more than 25 years and we need more vehicles we need more new vehicles to for the services to the people we need more equipment in order to get to of the rubble here and there and everywhere and. urge all the free people in the world to support the minister planet is of the gaza strip the people of gaza and this will help our store for the services needed by the people here and they need to continue living in this strip the gazans must be all was there and they are sort of unity between the medical teams and this civil defense teams
4:12 pm
but because of the lack of the proper vehicles we resorted to the private sector to help us in this connection still we have hope in the girls for being more and more supported. ok so i believe that we were that was a short statement the many were expecting but that was a you hear. the mayor of gars the. the bit of his speech she managed to catch catch she was appealing for help i think practical help initially for machinery to help clear the rubble reminding. people still have to live in the gaza strip they still have to live there these residential buildings are being bombed. once the bombing is done people still need to live there so he
4:13 pm
was appealing for earthmovers appealing for other equipments i believe he was referencing shortages of water to double check that but that was the mayor of. really appearing for help to make conditions a little bit more bearable for the people who are actually living in the gaza strip as it continues to be born. since we have been hearing from correspondents throughout the day that roods are being born making access to hospitals very different every difficult indeed let's head back to sami our correspondent. who's inside the u.n. school sami. it's very distressing the testimony and the reports that you're giving our audiences there is has to be said
4:14 pm
a slight movements of joy if we look beyond you in the background there are kids their. peers who are making games out of office chairs having a bit of a. play around their office chairs behind in the sun children being children but it does also underline the fact that the children who are trying to find fun behinds you they're the ones who are living through this. again you have spoken to some residents there speaking to children just give us a sense of the experience the daily reality for them. yes actually that is there no safe place and you know. they don't skids could not be it is impossible to hide. in our own in a class for 24 hours and that's why even the families that lead them to play in the compass and the according to them they are a little bit happy because they are in
4:15 pm
a school but without restrictions without the school restriction that's why they are using the campus of the school just to play in to make some fun and they would not go out to the gate of the school this let it be fun from the kids there was another. another clinton contradicted picture the families if their parents living their feelings some of people here lost their beloved i mean one of them i mean a man who is mathematics teacher he lost his wife and 3 kids before scaping here he was at his school his house they said he was began bombing his house collapsed and he and he lost everything he told me that he lost his wife is it 3 kids and his house and he has caved here that's why i mean you can find some kids who are playing make some fun. per ounce of. living in grief.
4:16 pm
the last point i would like to mention but still. a government office mentioned in the video to go to schools in gaza to government then a school on to a school and receive notification from days that means that. the schools will be hit by a strike till now. they have nothing having. we are working we cannot know where i'm going. we don't know we don't know when that will happen but we will of course we keeping a very close eye on all developments there we appreciate it sami abu salim there reporting from the school thank you very much indeed stanky sami will the prime minister of the palestinian authority spoke earlier today will chairing a cabinet meeting his party has called for a general strike across the occupied west bank on cheese steak mohamad chatah yeah
4:17 pm
thanks members of the international community for condemning the killings in gaza but he said that more must be done. behalf. must. be. illegitimate again this. must be there again this. must be some of the last of the. presentation. of objecting. on the abraham is in ramallah in the occupied west bank neither was from happening where you are. the u.s. envoy had the ahmed has made his way to ramallah he's been meeting with palestinian
4:18 pm
officials including a meeting with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas according to the official capacity news agency wafa bess's told is guest had the advantage the importance of having the u.s. intervene to pressure israel to stop what president abbas said it's and is really aggression. according to the same agency wefaq it says that had damaged. that the u.s. is interested in the escalation and it will be working towards the but as we've been hearing from many palestinian officials they don't seem to be hopeful of these u.s. efforts they say that the u.s. didn't allow the united nations security council session to be housed but only if it was only allowed only allowed to be held on sunday so there's a lot of frustration but also it's more so in the streets where palestinians are saying they're looking for different means to fight the israeli occupation there's
4:19 pm
a general strike to morrow and tuesday where palestinians have been calling upon all shops to close and old government employees as well as everyone on the street to go to protests and confrontation points with the israeli army because they say even if this sit round of us can nation ends the underlying conditions are still there which are the israeli which is the israeli occupation i'm joined here today by an activist her name is that as that would put her on and she wants to tell us more about why the palestinians are calling for the strike what are you hoping to achieve thank you very much. first of all it's important to say this is a united call by the masses as you stated this is not coming out of a specific political faction you have the lawyers union the teachers union student councils across palestinian universities across historic palestine we are all united in this call for a strike and the purpose of it really is so that we don't find ourselves complicit
4:20 pm
and colluding with the neo liberal policies of returning to everyday living while as you noted there's underlying systemic conditions of apartheid of brutality of ongoing ethnic cleansing and really we've had enough it's been enough and this needs to be addressed in the way that we find best to address it is for us to be united in the streets using multiple different forms of political. civil action reza you're also a psychologist with these protests come a lot of casualties palestinians were killed by israeli forces fire at often when there is a conflict we tend to be talking about the death toll and how many palestinians are killed what do you think the human cost of these palestinians were killed what is the impact on the palestinian society thank you so much for this point in question and i hope more newscasters allude to such an important as you see on your screens the numbers the toll increasing their human lives behind this the odd discontent no
4:21 pm
was killed with his wife and 5 children in one blow these are people with dreams with aspirations these are people there us you know just as you see me in flesh right now i have dreams i'm currently pursuing my studies to to continue in psychology people have a dreams when you hear about the number of casualties up to 6000 this isn't just a little bruise on your arm these are people that are in severe conditions that hospitals are already at low capacity due to the pandemic we're not being able to get any x. resources into it does it even deal with this when you're hearing about bombing they're using daylight to pull bodies from under the rubble they're seeing blood splatter everywhere a population that is majority children when you hear of them some of that could do one of could these children and the does it for them there are people that were displaced in 1973 years ago if we do not stop this ethnic cleansing and dispossession now you render 2000000 people under a closed prison nothing and turns nothing exits dreams collapsing in front of them
4:22 pm
and yet we fight and yet we resist and yet we dream and we invite you to engage in conversations like this very passionate you are an activist you've been participating in protests. what do you want to see the palestinian authority the palestinian leaders do. well i would say the leadership there's so many riot gear is that they you know equipment that they hold that could be used to defend the front lines right now these are people like me like you better go in and saying enough is enough many are standing there just to say enough is enough but we don't have some kind of united front at an institutional security militancy level to to combat this we need are these leaders in these positions to also protect us by putting pressure on getting medical equipment into has it putting pressure to improve the resources we do have right now putting pressure to say yes let's strike
4:23 pm
there is nothing left to live for every day other than our liberation and our freedom we've already seen $220.00 killed just since may 7th just sense may 7th of this year the toll over 73 years is too much and this is the time the palestinian authority step up take on this responsibility no more security coordination as the 1st step they can take thank you so much and she is a palestinian activist and also a psychologist and as we heard very passionate speak with a speech we've been hearing from many palestinian protesters there saying that there is a strong a big gap between them and their leadership and they want the palestinian authority to step up but some are saying that they don't believe the palestinian authority is going to be part of the solution and they can so they are a part of the problem. they need abraham there live from ramallah need to thank you . well a short while ago 8 people in israel were injured when
4:24 pm
a rocket fired from gaza hit an apartment building in ashdod much of southern israel was targeted with rocket barrages from the gaza strip threat the day on monday 9 others were injured around the town of beersheba well it's taking on east jerusalem hurry force it is therefore as we can see the components behind you were arguably much of this starts it's just bring us up to date with what's been happening there. well as you say there have been consistent and continuing rocket barrages coming out of gaza the injuries you just talked about also impacts on a highway. and so it does continue as well as that the israeli air strikes as we've been hearing from inside gaza as well have been continuing through the day the israeli military says that it struck and killed
4:25 pm
a man called bead who they say was the replacement in the palestinian islamic jihad fighting group for a form a very senior rocket commander who may killed in 2019 sparking a major round of escalation at that time so again israel is claiming. the latest in what it's saying our military targets inside gaza of course the civilian toll is mounting in the extremely troubling way that we've been listening to and watching in the last half hour as well as that there has been more news coming from the round of interethnic racial violence that we've seen a jewish man in lloyd who is seriously injured in stone throwing against his car by a group of palestinian israelis after a palestinian israeli was killed earlier in the week he is now succumbed to his wounds in hospital and has died so that side of this very troubling situation is also developing and harry there have been various reports and ceasefire talks any
4:26 pm
indication that the israeli government is taking this seriously. well all of the public messaging coming from the israelis is seemingly at least designed to show the opposite the security cabinet which met on sunday there was reporting on its way into that meeting that ministers were going to be talking about bringing an end to all of this however after they came out the reporting was that no they hadn't even discussed it and we saw benjamin netanyahu both in his public statements to the nation and also in an interview on american television saying that this will continue for some time yet although he's saying it will go as long as necessary saying that he hopes it won't go on that much longer exerting it will go on as long as necessary as well can be taken into ways so it is very clear that there are serious efforts by the egyptians slightly more public efforts as
4:27 pm
well by the americans now although the messaging from the americans is still very mild in terms of pressure on israel but as you're hearing from the and boy is still here still working so i think everybody recognizes that it is really now very much in the at the behest of the israelis to decide how much longer this goes on for and as soon as there is serious engagement there is some hope that things can start to come to an end relatively soon but no public admission or indication along those lines yet ok sorry 4 sets reporting live from occupied east jerusalem harry thank you. yes president joe biden says is ministration is working towards a sustained calm between israel and palestine he stopped short of calling for an immediate cease fire despite to months for 28 senators from his own democratic party who were also believe palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live in
4:28 pm
safety and security and enjoy equal measure freedom prosperity and democracy and my administration is going to continue engaging palestinians israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm. was close overnight see a white house correspondent kemba the whole currents can be president biden hasn't called for a cease fire china revealed that the security council demands for a cease fire were blocked by the u.s. so what message is the u.s. trying to send right now. the message that sending whether it's delivered or not is one that is somewhat unbalanced if you will you heard the u.s. president talking there saying that he believes that there should be equality when it comes to palestinian israeli security but at the same time the u.s. has been anything but equal what it comes to its military support of course
4:29 pm
military support has been overwhelming historically for years billions of dollars for israelis but not the same for palestinians so this is something that is certainly getting a lot of pushback in the united states meantime as the israeli military continues to carry out its air strikes including over the weekend of one of the buildings that house not just al jazeera journalists but also journalists from the associated press and others the secretary of state antony blinken saying that he has seen no intelligence that would back up israel's claim that in fact this was a legitimate target take a listen further we call on all parties to ensure the protection of civilians especially children to respect international humanitarian law to protect medical facilities protect media organizations and protect you and facilities where civilians are desperately seeking shelter and we are ready to lend support if the
4:30 pm
parties seek seek a cease fire. well this means more pushback from members of his own democratic party over his handling of the situation will work you tell us about balance. if this is to be a real division that is growing within the democratic party not only did we hear from members of the president's party in the house of representatives late last week calling for the biden of ministration to stop siding with the occupiers as one congresswoman put it but now we're hearing also from democratic senators 28 to be in fact in fact to be exact what they said was a letter calling for an immediate cease fire what there appears to be is a division what you're seeing is some of the older democrats in the democratic party that are in fact supporting the by the end of ministrations policies but at the same time some of the younger progressive members
4:31 pm
of the president's party are saying this is an issue of racial injustice and as the by the administration says that it is a defender of human rights they're wondering why it does not apply in this case. there live from the white house kimberly fair thank you very much in deeds. with this story we can speak to him for i have season associate professor of conflict resolution at the institute the very man we need to speak to give in the room is a conference on growing. the standard abraham for ari. do you see any efforts underway to broker a cease fire and do you think we'd be able to have an impact when it comes
4:32 pm
to brew crew a cease fire in this instance. well thank you i said i think that is a good. opportunity for to regional and international but the issue at the big base at this moment because i think does need help with trying to broker some sort of the one i do remember there is no doubt that the united states has see it as limited that can instead of be and get out and russia is lying in order to stop the attacks on gaza. and if the government has declared the number of times that that refusing to stop that x. amount. to be announced that they're willing to stop that backs if a stop south actually doesn't. so it's the united states will count pressure on the side but nevertheless i think that equally important than the regional effects that can be they had switched from egypt and egypt the end of i think has to equal it is
4:33 pm
the important things which is access export the is and leverage egypt has access to build up the pot this school is the hamas not enough now but also in the past egypt has expired at least there has always been mediating these kind of cease fires between as i am and the palestinians also egypt hosts the. t.v. conciliation among the poles the against i don't salute egypt has limited leverage because. the conflict in gaza is also a national security issue for egypt so if this violence continues it has the potential to spill all the out of in egypt and get a figure situation and the sinai peninsula so egypt can be in and it said he didn't play out and can use this leverage on bull israel and also and harass and we have.
4:34 pm
seen we have seen some serious statements that government has made being very critical of its own refusing to talk and refusing to stop that fact i think egypt junk would be your best and make a difference and that's all that's left will egypt can intervene and it could speak potentially make make some kind of difference here but will they because we've been following this continuously for the last 10 days or so and i mean what what can you one day a day do these parties decide actually we are going to intervene the united states have been holding back. egypt's has the potential to make a difference but hasn't why do you think none of these parties are making a move here how much longer do you think people will wait before they actually decide to step in and do something. i don't read or don't think that egypt can
4:35 pm
afford to stay silent not exert a serious pressure in order book to start. egypt has made some c.d.'s to the killers statements of the position of resilience it's the israeli government now that's using. fear that if you know all statements if using door listen to any. mediation effort to stop this and that then you know what has made this publicly that norwan for the party instead of ancient and for that. i think egypt if this continues we know what what comes as a result of war and violence it's that if you genie is. spilling all the other of violence so that the body is this is what happened what we saw happening get syria out and leave yet in yemen everywhere ok. definitively egypt is not an
4:36 pm
exception so that's why i don't think egypt has the luxury of space science ought to stay neutral of invisible humans and i think egypt will and should continue your door and be in the brush of a party that's not listening to or stopping the violence and in this case it's like him who has openly and publicly refused to stop the way that's ok but we'll wait and see what if anything egypt decides to do it in frye hat joining us from doha thank you very much but tens of thousands of people in gaza have been made homeless find the history of the bombardments and there we spoke to my t.s.h. manet the director general of on raw un's agency for palestinian refugees see says the ever israeli offensive is getting alarmingly close to their facilities. we now have more than 50 children dead and killed among them 18 children that went to our woodrow schools that for me is just an unacceptable price that the civilian
4:37 pm
population is paying and indeed we have seen several buildings taken down in which civilians lived and so yes in most cases they were warned to evacuate those buildings but we now have i believe at latest count at least 5000 people without a home so that's a 2nd price to pay and then the 3rd $1.00 is we are here in one of our installations people are scared they are terrified this is experienced as terror from the skies and people are increasingly leaving their homes we now have more than 41000 people in 50 schools and it would be of grave concern if any of these installations were directly hit so the priority we are into the 3rd day of having people in our installations like this the priority so far has been to make them safe and what that means is number one that there are no unexploded devices lying around number 2 we're still in covert times and we've had to make sure that we have protective equipment and p.p.a. for them and now we have been starting to look since yesterday at what to do in
4:38 pm
terms of basic needs like water we have half of our installations kids it out for a situation like this with solar energy and water supplies and sanitary facilities but half are not and we are racing against time now to try and meet these basic needs obviously we will have to have the border open at some point to bring in supplies for the moment we are ok but there will be critical supply needs in the next few days i must say during this current war the conversations have been difficult in my understanding i wasn't here but in 2014 we much more early on had humanitarian corridors you know where there was a lull in the fighting and we could move to instill a. bring material and so on and so far in day 7 or 8 of this they have not granted that they've also not granted us to bring in and out people you know so it's it's at the moment it's very difficult conversations
4:39 pm
a big important part also is that they are striking very close to our installations my main office complex is c.v.s. damaged in parts of the because the strikes we have very close to it and so an understanding we had in the past that they would also be to keep some distance in there striking from our installations is just not being respected sufficiently. launch of the united kingdom is seeking step towards normality this monday coronavirus restrictions are being eased across england wales and scotland pumps restaurant cinemas and sports fans are among the businesses being laid to reopen their doors a complete lift in of call with 1000 measures in june let's go live now and how he joins us from manchester and join a reopening very much under way as we can see behind you just give us a sense of what's happening where you are. yeah that's right england wales
4:40 pm
and scotland as you say lifting restrictions northern ireland to follow in the coming days but the great reopening really is under way in england in particular people are allowed to get in to meet and mix indoors to eat and drink groups of up to 6 people up to x. move 2 households i'm in manchester as you say in a pub restaurant here and you know it's easy to forget that these are pretty unusual scenes now people have been able to do this for months very good news of course for business owners and for customers like and it's not just hospitality all indoor venues are now allowed to reopen so that's jim's than ours galleries museums sports stadiums of course international travel is back on albeit on a pretty limited basis but as is so often the case with this corona virus there is a catch and ministers are watching all of this with fingers firmly crossed behind their backs that's because of the variant the new variant 1st discovered in india
4:41 pm
the so-called indian variant considered way more contagious albeit they don't know quite how much more contagious now it's present in localized clusters in various parts of england there are containment measures in place but the real concern is that this reopening provokes a 3rd wave of infections particularly if that variant is able to escape those localised clusters and it would put at risk this time the very young and those unvaccinated all those who have decided for whatever reason not to be vaccinated so some cause for concern there the prime minister boris johnson warning people on monday morning to you know go out and enjoy these newfound freedoms again but to do so he said with a heavy dose of caution in other words don't enjoy it all too much. and joyner do you know how much we actually know about this new variant that's threatening to put the kybosh really on those scenes behind you.
4:42 pm
well i mean look at that that is very much the point the new variant is huge unknown very little data about it being studied in real time how contagious is it we don't know it does it will kind of escape the existing vaccines we believe not but we don't know it is a moment of maximum caution there thought it was all over but as they study the variant and consider the possibility of having to look delay all of this reopening down the line into june as i say the government being cautious and precautions continue to be followed her best to make the most of those scenes while you still can join a whole that live from manchester joyner thank you. all the indian prime minister narendra modi is being accused of cracking down on criticism after dozens of people were arrested in the capital now they put up posters asking why vaccines were sent abroad earlier this year instead of using them in india police say they were

4:44 pm
